Welcome to the
January 2012 issue of the
Annual Sheep and Goat Re-view!
First, I thank all par-ticipants
from the sheep
and goat industries for their
continued support and co-operation
– especially the
producers who provide data
for the annual Sheep and
Goats survey. Without their
commitment and participa-tion,
this report would not
be possible.
This publication is a compi-lation
of related reports
issued by USDA’s National
Agricultural Statistics Ser-vice
(NASS) in an effort to
provide a complete source
of statistics relevant to the
sheep and goat industry.
Though many of the statis-tics
in this publication can
be accessed through our
website on a monthly basis
(www.nass.usda.gov/
Publications), this Okla-homa
Field Office summary
will be issued each January
following the release of the
USDA-NASS annual Sheep
and Goats report.
Please feel free to contact
our office with any com-ments
or questions you may
have. I hope you find this
information useful!

The majority of Oklahoma’s goats are meat-type. Initial goat estimates, which began in
2005, showed 73,000 meat goats. They peaked in 2008 when the meat-type inventory was meas-ured
at 115,000 head. The current level of 91,000 is unchanged from one year ago.
Milk goats make up the bulk of the remaining total goats. In 2005, there were 9,000 head esti-mated
with a high inventory of 10,000 reached in 2006. The 2012 inventory of 7,000 is up 1,000
head from last year.
